Study the table given below and answer the question
The table gives attendance of employees (number of employees present) on five week days in five officers, namely, A,B,C,D and E:Days Number of employees present in offices A B C D E Monday 139 147 211 141 184 Tuesday 141 189 164 189 151 Wednesday 115 141 159 156 136 Thursday 89 223 120 147 113 Friday 187 93 257 160 124
Attendance Data Parsing
To solve this problem, we first need to carefully read and organize the attendance data provided in the table. The data lists the number of employees present in five different offices (A, B, C, D, and E) on five weekdays (Monday through Friday). The numbers are given consecutively for each day and office.
| Days | Office A | Office B | Office C | Office D | Office E |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 139 | 147 | 211 | 141 | 184 |
| Tuesday | 141 | 189 | 164 | 189 | 151 |
| Wednesday | 115 | 141 | 159 | 156 | 136 |
| Thursday | 89 | 223 | 120 | 147 | 113 |
| Friday | 187 | 93 | 257 | 160 | 124 |
Office B Attendance Calculation
The question asks for the total number of employees present in Office B on Wednesday and Thursday combined. We find these values from the parsed table:
- Number of employees present in Office B on Wednesday = 141
- Number of employees present in Office B on Thursday = 223
To find the total attendance for Office B over these two days, we add these numbers:
$$ \text{Total Attendance}_B = (\text{Wednesday Attendance}_B) + (\text{Thursday Attendance}_B) $$
$$ \text{Total Attendance}_B = 141 + 223 $$
$$ \text{Total Attendance}_B = 364 $$
Office C Attendance Calculation
Next, we need to calculate the total number of employees present in Office C on Monday and Friday combined. From the table:
- Number of employees present in Office C on Monday = 211
- Number of employees present in Office C on Friday = 257
The total attendance for Office C over these two days is:
$$ \text{Total Attendance}_C = (\text{Monday Attendance}_C) + (\text{Friday Attendance}_C) $$
$$ \text{Total Attendance}_C = 211 + 257 $$
$$ \text{Total Attendance}_C = 468 $$
Ratio Determination
The question requires the respective ratio between the total attendance in Office B (Wednesday and Thursday) and the total attendance in Office C (Monday and Friday). This is represented as:
$$ \text{Required Ratio} = \text{Total Attendance}_B : \text{Total Attendance}_C $$
Substituting the calculated totals:
$$ \text{Required Ratio} = 364 : 468 $$
To simplify this ratio, we divide both numbers by their greatest common divisor. We can start by dividing by common factors. Both numbers are even:
$$ \frac{364}{468} = \frac{364 \div 2}{468 \div 2} = \frac{182}{234} $$
We can divide by 2 again:
$$ \frac{182}{234} = \frac{182 \div 2}{234 \div 2} = \frac{91}{117} $$
Now, we find common factors for 91 and 117. We can see that $91 = 7 \times 13$ and $117 = 9 \times 13$. So, 13 is a common factor:
$$ \frac{91}{117} = \frac{91 \div 13}{117 \div 13} = \frac{7}{9} $$
Therefore, the respective ratio is 7:9.
